Dallas Cowboys Acquire Joe Milton III as Backup QB

Joe Milton III, recently traded from the New England Patriots to the Dallas Cowboys, views the move as a blessing and values the opportunity to learn from starter Dak Prescott. Known for his strong arm and potential, Milton has impressed during Cowboys OTAs with his accuracy and work ethic, earning praise from head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Milton contrasts the Cowboys' fast-paced and explosive offense favorably against the Patriots' less dynamic system, noting that Dallas' offensive style resembles his college days more closely. With the departure of backup Cooper Rush, Milton is poised to compete for the backup quarterback role behind Prescott, a position critical given Prescott's past injuries. While Milton's arm talent is unquestioned, his continued development in decision-making and accuracy will determine his readiness to step in if needed. His promising performances have also attracted attention from fantasy football circles as a potential dynasty roster asset.
